Negotiations carried on longer than expected, but Lee will presumably avoid any missed reps in his all-important first NFL training camp.
The former Ohio State standout reportedly received a four-year, $10.2-million deal. As is the case with all first-round picks under the revised rookie contract structure, Lee's deal will also include a fifth-year option.
The contract is also fully guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
San Diego Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa and San Francisco 49ers guard Joshua Garnett remain the only first-round picks without deals.
